Welcome to the Eternal Lands Wiki, the wiki for the MMORPG [http://www.eternal-lands.com Eternal Lands]. Started by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods.
Welcome to the New Mirror of the Eternal Lands Wiki, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORPG MMORPG] ''[http://www.eternal-lands.com Eternal Lands]''. This wiki is maintained and enhanced by players of ''Eternal Lands'' and was originally started in 2006 by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods (FoCW), and taken over by Ermabwed a few years later. Due to an upgrade of that server, the wiki stopped functioning correctly in March of 2020. Thanks to a herculean effort by VinoVeritas, we now once again have a functioning wiki. Links to the forum still link to the original wiki forum, which was also corrupted. A workaround was provided by burn, see below. Since no database access was available, usernames and passwords could not be transferred. This is currently still a work in progress.


If you experience problems like missing images/functionality or general problems, please send an email to elwiki[dot]net[at]googlemail[dot]com.
For now, please contact Maxine if you have issues or questions.

<!--Posting in official channels can have several repercussions:
# You could get ''muted''
# The other two had DC getting in trouble, however as he is neither playing El nor hosting the wiki anymore I guess that is kind of unlikely to happen now. Maybe a moderator of EL can add the appropriate information here.
# You could get DC in hot water
# DC could get fed up, as his friends among the moderator staff continue to complain, and decide that begging their forgiveness isn't worth it.

Thanks to Tainted Angel, we now have a slightly modified default theme for the wiki, one of it's main features being the fact that it will span the entire width of the browser window.

Welcome

Welcome to the New Mirror of the Eternal Lands Wiki, a wiki for the MMORPG Eternal Lands. This wiki is maintained and enhanced by players of Eternal Lands and was originally started in 2006 by the Fellowship of the Celtic Woods (FoCW), and taken over by Ermabwed a few years later. Due to an upgrade of that server, the wiki stopped functioning correctly in March of 2020. Thanks to a herculean effort by VinoVeritas, we now once again have a functioning wiki. Links to the forum still link to the original wiki forum, which was also corrupted. A workaround was provided by burn, see below. Since no database access was available, usernames and passwords could not be transferred. This is currently still a work in progress.

For now, please contact Maxine if you have issues or questions.


Note:

  • This wiki is not officially sponsored, supported, or sanctioned by the Eternal Lands or any of their staff.
  • You are allowed to post the root URL (https://el-wiki.holy-eternalland.de/) in official chat channels in the game. However, do not post pages containing spoilers. Posting general info such as links on how to make various items is OK.
  • Game secrets and spoilers do not belong in the wiki. They go in the forum and are not visible unless you have a username and password. New usernames and passwords cannot be created on the old forum!
  • Before registering to edit pages and/or access the forum, see the "Read before registering" section below.

Searching the wiki

If your browser supports OpenSearch (Firefox and IE do) you can add "Eternal Lands Wiki (en)" as a search engine to your browser and search the wiki using your browser's search box.

Your browser should provide an easy way to switch search engines (Firefox has a drop down menu right next to the search input field) and should provide an option to add a new search engine in the same place (again, Firefox does this, if IE is different please add the appropriate information here).

Request for Admins

Wanted: People interested in doing administrative duties on the wiki. Payment - a sense of accomplishing something for the public good. Contact techsto[at]planet[dot]nl via email.
